[6:07][DOIC]Teir@liorexu:** The Sentinel and friends are on the Citadel! Still! You know the drill. *

[6:08][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:-meanwhile in the lounge Arin Soran orders a tea.-

[6:08][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Holo Hank] "Coming right up, Counselor." *He set the cup in front of her.

[6:10][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*In one corner of the lounge, a large table of Kirtascans were presently singing a song for their upcoming righteous battle... between drinks, of course.

[6:10][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"thank you Hank." --looks curiously at the Kirtascans.-

[6:12][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Kirtascans] "Tannies better learn to hide, we've the Protector at our side!" *They finished their song with a loud cheer and many clinks of mugs.

[6:13][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He stepped into the lounge, avoiding a few of the lizard-people's tails on the way to the counter.

[6:15][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--gives the Andorian a smile-

[6:15][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"They seem to be in good spirits," *he noted and ordered an Andorian ale. He nodded to Arin.

[6:16][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Yes. Good spirits.

[6:17][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"They're going up against the Imperium again soon for the first time since their homeworld was destroyed by them... the Imperium may have underestimated how angry that would make them.

[6:18][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"the imperium may have underestimated a lot of things.

[6:20][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Having a superiority complex tends to lend to that." *He took his glass of blue as Hank served it over.* "I don't believe we've met. Teir.

[6:20][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"hello Teir, I am Arin Soran. You can call me Arin.

[6:21][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Moves up to the bar, waving down the tender to order something fizzy to drink. Coming out of her hidey to see whats been going on with the station and everything in between.

[6:22][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"A pleasure then, Arin." *He glanced to his other side as he noted movement.* "Lieutenant Stingray, was it?

[6:22][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Holo Hank] *The bartender served up Val's fizzy drink promptly.

[6:23][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Yes, Val Stingray. You'er Tier, the new guy, person, taking over for Tactical?

[6:25][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Security, actually. There'll be someone else on the ship guns while Commander Varel remains in recovery.

[6:26][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I see." Nodding her head. "Yes, Varel took a pretty nasty turn during the last altercation. I hope she' doing alright.

[6:28][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"So I'd heard. I'm not privy to her medical status, but I would imagine that no news indicates that her condition is, at least, not deteriorating.

[6:29][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I thnk she was doing better, thought thats the last I heard anything." Sips. "So, how do you like the Seintal so far?

[6:30][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*Behind them, the Kirtascans were launching into their next song about killing the Tanausans and letting the Protector sort them out.

[6:31][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Well, I was not aboard for very long before we were docked, but thus far I have no major concerns. The crew I've spoken with seem to know what they're doing, at the very least.

[6:32][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"New to the Sentinel? Where were you before?

[6:32][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"You've been assigned to the Sentinel for some time, if I'm not mistaken?" *he looked at Arin.* "I was previously posted on the Pilgrim.

[6:33][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"oh Pilgrim. I used to be on the Pilgrim...but, that was a while ago.

[6:34][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"It would have been, I was there for the last six years and don't recall you being there.

[6:34][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Oh? How was the Pilgrim?

[6:35][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He paused a moment, considering the answer to that with a sip of his ale.* "Like any posting, it had its good and its bad. I feel like I made good use of my time there, however, and I suppose..

[6:35][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:that is all that matters.

[6:36][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Yes, I suppose that is all that matters.

[6:37][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Indeed. So, I've been asking everyone this, so I may as well while you're here... anything I should know about the Sentinel?

[6:37][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Yeah this would have been back when it launched Under Captain Zenov

[6:38][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Far before my time, then. I may have still been in the Academy.

[6:38][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"How do you mean? Generally or terrible terrible secrets?

[6:38][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He shrugged at Val.* "Whatever you would want to know if you were just coming aboard for the first time.

[6:44][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Well, the Sentinal is pretty tight, though I'd stay away from certain memebers, like Veeri. I forsee her dying violently one day.

[6:45][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--looks over at Val with concern-

[6:45][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*A few Beryxians had joined the Kirtascan table, their delicate, hauntingly beautiful voices blending strangely well with the lizard people's songs of war.

[6:46][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"The comms officer?" *He tilted his head slightly.* "How is that? She seems... eccentric, sure.

[6:46][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Do you have some personal issues with this Veeri you would like to discuss?

[6:46][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Not realy. I think most people know my thoughts abot her.

[6:47][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"well I am sure any isssues can be resolved without violence.

[6:48][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Now, I'm certain the Lieutenant didn't mean that as a threat... right?" *he eyed Val.

[6:49][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--looks at Val-- "oh did I misunderstand?

[6:52][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I'm not threatening her. I"m just saying she might run her mouth the wrong time and die violently.

[6:53][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"oh well that is probably not good.

[6:53][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"I know the type all too well. I still have a bet going with a friend on the Pilgrim regarding how their chief science officer meets his untimely end.

[6:55][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Well starship duty is certainly different today than it was back in my time.

[6:55][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Still... good to know, considering I'd be the one who'd have to save her from dying violently.

[6:55][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Good luck with that.

[6:56][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Thanks." *He smirked slightly and drank.* "How is it different?

[6:59][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"i just never remembered expecting any particualr crewmember to end up being murdered.

[7:01][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"There are certain people that you just know through interacting with them are going to end up pissing off the wrong person. Sometimes they just happen to be in your crew.

[7:01][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"although in retrospect, we had an unusual number of spies on board the Pilgrim when it launched...so I don't know a knife in the back could have been a possibility.

[7:01][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"So... perhaps you should have been expecting it?" *He gave a slight chuckle.

[7:02][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"expecting it no. None of us had any clue at the time. This was all studf that caqme out later.

[7:03][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Well, the spy problem was ultimately solved on the Pilgrim, at least. We did have one sleeper agent for the Dark, but I suppose it's not exactly the same thing.

[7:04][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"The Sentinal had a lot of past history. Though most don't want to talk about it.

[7:04][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Not exactly the same thing. But, yeah the spy thing got solved.

[7:05][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"The Pilgrim's spy thing and the Sentinel's hisotry tie in to each other.

[7:06][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He looked between the two of them for a moment, then motioned to Hank for another glass.* "So I've come to realise. A certain project, correct?

[7:07][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--she nods-- "yeah.

[7:08][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Humans have a tendency to speak at a volume they don't realise can still be picked up when they discuss things like that." *He leaned slightly on the counter.* "But that's all in the past, I..

[7:08][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:take it?

[7:08][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Yes, you would be correct.

[7:09][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Yeah the Project was disbanded and a bunch of thier secrets dumped out on the web for the galaxy to see.

[7:10][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"All courtesy of the Sentinel crew and the Pilgrim's former XO.

[7:11][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Yes... it's quite the long read," *he mused as he took his fresh glass.

[7:12][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"yeah some really troubling stuff in there.

[7:13][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"A lot of it was." NOdding

[7:14][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"But, water under the bridge as they say.

[7:15][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He looked at Arin for a moment after that.* "Absolutely not. It's something that we need to be on alert for when it happens again, because it absolutely will.

[7:16][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"You think it will. I mean I agree we need to remain alert to that sort of thing going forward. But, to my knowledge safety protocols were put in place after all that.

[7:18][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"It always escalates. We install safety and security measures, then something tests and eventually breaks them. Then we deal with that and update the protocols again. There's always going to be..

[7:18][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:something worse.

[7:18][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"well that is a depressing thought.

[7:18][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"The cycle continues.

[7:19][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I know, my work with the Unity investigation has hit certain blocks because of protrocals.

[7:19][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"oh you are that Val Stingray.

[7:19][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Unity, that's the... machine hybrid race, correct?

[7:22][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Yes! I guess machien people would be the best description for them.

[7:22][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Though I would think digital intelligence is closer to what they are now."

[7:22][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Sephanie Rendino speak highly of you and your work.

[7:23][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He nodded.* "What sort of protocols are keeping you from your research, then?

[7:25][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I was looking into some rescent research and they had it classified. Though it s been a while ago.

[7:26][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Perhaps you should discuss it with Doctor Rendino when you get the chance. She may give you clearance if you request it.

[7:26][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Yeah, if there is some issue with access. I am sure Stephanie can clear that up.

[7:27][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I would, but seems I"m about to earn the position of head researcher so that might not be a problem anymore. HOpefully/

[7:27][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Ah, well see, there's your clearance. And congratulations.

[7:27][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Well congratulations.

[7:28][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Thank you." Light smile. "I have some theories I want to follow up on about the Unity and their Exodus. I'm curious about what happen to them.

[7:29][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"i am sure if anyone can figure it out it will be you.

[7:30][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He nodded.* "And ever so slowly, we restore the forgotten history of this galaxy. It's a noble goal.

[7:30][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I don't know about history. I think there is a way to find the Unity, if they are still exsist.

[7:31][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"such a rich history too. So many interesting peoples. A lot of tragedy though.

[7:32][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Well if we're to find them, we'll have to uncover the story of the path they took, no?" *he then nodded to Arin.* "A lot of triumph, too.

[7:33][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"The Scyrthi, for example. Driven from their homes, mutilated by the Apostates, and now the Citadel is filled with avian song that was unheard of for millions of years.

[7:34][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"its an inspiring story.

[7:34][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"The Alliance has one thing the Apostates will never crush, hope.

[7:35][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"This galaxy seems to be big on using song for various functions.

[7:35][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"yes music and song seems to be a common thread amoang many different species here in the LMC.

[7:36][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Our galaxy may be the strange one for not using music in as widespread of a manner," *he smirked.

[7:37][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"its actually quite amazing. by comparison our galaxy is disturbingly silent.

[7:38][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I wouldn't know about that. If one listens you can hear the samething, only it's different.

[7:40][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"one has to listen a lot more intently in the Milkey Way. Here the volume is higher.

[7:41][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He tilted his head slightly.* "I'm not sure I follow... you mean a background song of some kind?

[7:43][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Something like that. We gve this galaxy too much credit because its obnoxiously loud. Our galaxy is more subtle there is a song there composed of evyerthing living there.

[7:43][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Like here.

[7:43][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--she nods slowly-- "yes. Its not necessaerily something you can experience without telepathy or someo ther form of expanded perceptions.

[7:44][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Ah... now I understand. I have a wide range of hearing but telepathy is not a skill I was born with.

[7:47][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"In any case, of course it's going to sound different... the galaxy is playing different instruments." *He sipped.

[7:51][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--Arin nodded and sipped her tea-

[7:55][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He checked his PADD.* "I should get going, however. With luck we should be departing from the Citadel soon. A pleasure to meet you, Arin. And to speak with you, Lieutenant Stingray.

[7:55][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"You too, take cxare.

[7:55][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"Certainly Teir, it was a pleasure to meet you. Stay safe out there.

[7:56][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"That's the job description." *He nodded to them and headed out.

[7:56][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Looks at Soran.

[7:56][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:--smiles at Val-

[7:57][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Holo Hank] *He cleaned up Teir's glass and went back to wiping down the bartop.

[7:57][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Sooooo, you are the ships counsler?

[7:58][DOIC1]Arin Soran@Demoncheru:"counselor yes. But, I am not attached to any ship I work out of the Citadel and serve fleet wide.
